Abstract: Customer relationship management systems have evolved from record-keeping databases into platforms that orchestrate sales workflows, track customer interactions, and provide analytics. Recent advances in generative AI enable these systems to surface insights, generate communication drafts, and recommend next actions based on historical data. However, integrating AI-generated content into CRM workflows introduces challenges around accuracy, adoption, governance, and user trust. This paper presents a practical framework for operationalizing generative AI within Salesforce ecosystems. We describe integration patterns for common use cases (account summarization, email drafting, opportunity insights), implementation approaches using native features and external APIs, operational guardrails to ensure quality and compliance, and adoption strategies that balance automation with human oversight. While examples reference Salesforce, the principles apply to any enterprise CRM platform with similar extensibility capabilities.
